    When you're evolving a classic, it's hard to find the right way to do it, but Pac-Man got it this time. It's the same old experience, but dynamic and connected to make it work in the 21st century.

    A great, addictive arcade that those looking for a challenge, and particularly those fond of skateboarding, will love. We think it needs a level editor, but so far there's a lot of content to keep us going.

    A great adaptation of one of the best fighting games of its time, with the phenomenal addition of an online mode.

    Even though it isn't as groundbreaking as it may have seemed when announced, Transistor is an excellent game, and appealing for many different audiences.

    Although it may seem that Guitar Hero 5 is just an update of the last year edition, the truth is that the new features, the improvements in the interface and the track list make it the best installment of the series in the last years.

    Lara Croft GO is a very interesting take on the Tomb Raider concept. Its puzzle and adventure mix works really well on mobile, no matter if you've played any Tomb Raider game before.

    A must-have for genre followers, that again puts NIS as the leader in strategic RPG games. We miss more options, like the possibility to save the game in the middle of a battle, and a more comprehensive online mode. The best Disgaea game to date.

    We need more games like Tearaway. It's sole purpose is making the player smile all the way through the adventure of the messenger and the You, relying on a beautiful universe, great level design and light-hearted fun.

    Renegade Ops uses simple but effective gameplay mechanics, which will be liked for those looking for an spiritual succesor of Jackal, and also shoot'em up lovers. The game is short in duration, but its cooperative modes compensate for it.

    The setting change works well, and the story will please series followers, with surprises and comebacks which will thrill Resident Evil fans. Resident Evil 5 offers a quality experience, despite some incongruities - all of them can be overlood -, which will engage us in front of the TV for hours, thanks to its gameplay and its high doses of action, tension and fun.

    As a remaster it's just good, but as a game, Twilight Princess is yet another wonderful adventure you don't want to miss. And if you've missed it before, now it's the right time.

    A great closure for this experience. We would recommend playing the five episodes all together, but if you've already started playing it, you cannot miss this one.

    Lizardcube revitalizes Shinobi with fluid, creative combat, varied levels, and gorgeous comic-style visuals that make it fast, replayable, and full of content, though the map can be unclear, some time-trial sections frustrating, and the soundtrack less memorable than expected.

    Everything feels like a step forward, even though there are some aspects (like random tutorials or some situations in which we felt completely out of control) that we would like to see more polished. Still, a great choice for The Sims fans.

    A great game, full of details that make it shine every time we play. Forza Horizon needs many hours to make the most of it, but just a few minutes to start enjoying it. It also proves that an open-world title could be as deep, profound and interesting as any other game.

    Balatro ingeniously transforms the familiar concept of poker into a fresh and captivating experience, offering a plethora of strategies to explore through its innovative mechanics. Despite its minor flaws, such as occasional unfair boss encounters, the game's depth, accessibility, and addictiveness make it a standout title in the roguelike card game genre.

    Crusader Kings II is probably the best game Paradox has ever made. The nordic studio is getting more and more experienced in the strategy genre after years making excellent titles, and the depth of Crusader Kings II is simply overwhelming. Thanks to its good AI, the game gets challenging and realistic. Its only flaws are the limitations in the military part.

    A great step forward for wrestling game that we think will convince the fans. Those who haven't played wrestling games too often have a great chance to approach them again, as WWE 12 changes a lot in comparison with previous Smackdown vs RAW entries.

    This masterful spin-off translates the franchise's addictive essence into a surprisingly deep card-based dungeon crawler. Its strategic combo system and rewarding progression loop create an incredibly satisfying experience, bolstered by a stellar soundtrack. Although it feels less infinite than its predecessor, its polished mechanics and immense value make it an essential, high-quality experience.

    One of the most interesting and fresh puzzles we've seen lately for these devices. It may look simple, but it gets harder and harder, and mastering it will take us a while.
